Best Bets – Wednesday 2 July

With a run under his belt and now on a big roomy track, this looks ideal for SPECIAL ARTIST. He came from 10th turning for home on debut and ran 2nd. A few of these were in that race too. Will get to the outside after a great run and should finish too well. I like Cryptic Beauty for 2nd.

Tough field to assess which makes it fascinating. Tony Gollan links with Qld’s top rider Ange Jones for a horse who was thrashed in trials called Ceretti. Hmmm. Then we have WAX ON WAX OFF who showed dazzling speed to beat Dragonne Rouge who has since won 2 races. Wax On Wax Off is on debut and clearly has ability. Quinella them.

A quick dash of 1000m looks ideal for the mare INDAZA. She has drawn a little deep but is very fit and is lightning out of the gates. If she crosses and leads or sits on the outside of the leader, her fitness should prevail.

Good to see GRINZINGER KNIGHT bounce back to form in a similar race last start. Is very fit. Was on pace last start with Doomben win and should go forward again. Bound to take running down.

I think all Alyssa Webb has do is steer a clear passage for HEADPHONES to win here. The 4kg apprentice gets a great opportunity. Headphones is trained here, is in form and drops in class for this.
